Chamber of Chills - Issue 7 - Facsimile Edition

In Chamber of Chills #7 (cover‑dated April 1952), the dread amplifies as this pre‑Comics Code horror anthology serves up a terrifying lineup of classic suspense tales. Within its 36 pages, Bob Powell’s seven‑page “Pit of the Damned!” (inked by Howard Nostrand) sets a chilling tone as forbidden evils erupt from a carnival owner’s ill‑fated occult gambit. Abe Simon and Don Perlin bring giant human‑like crabs to life in the pulpy adventure “Crawling Death”, while Joe Certa (with possible Vic Donahue inks) unleashes the grotesque “Garden of Horror”. Manny Stallman and John Giunta cap the issue with “The Seal of Satan”, a devilish twist of greed and damnation. The cover and interior art by Al Avison help anchor this issue’s eerie atmosphere, capturing the raw visual energy of early ’50s horror storytelling.
 
This facsimile edition from PS Artbooks faithfully reproduces the original artwork, colours, and layouts as they first appeared in 1952, preserving every shadowed panel and grim twist for modern readers. Ideal for collectors and fans of vintage horror comics, this edition offers an authentic window into a bygone era of comic book terror — where every panel pulses with suspense and the unknown waits just beyond the gutter.
